Inventory of anthropogenic methane emissions in Mainland China from 1980 to 2010

Methane (CH4) has a 28-fold greater global warming potential than CO2 over one hundred years. Atmospheric CH4 concentration has tripled since 1750. Anthropogenic CH4 emissions from China have been growing rapidly in the past decades, and contribute more than 10% of global anthropogenic CH4 emissions with large uncertainties in existing global inventories, generally limited to country-scale stat...

Interactive comment on “Improved provincial emission inventory and speciation profiles of anthropogenic non-methane volatile organic compounds: a case study for Jiangsu, China” by Yu Zhao et al

0. The paper describes a bottom-up development and evaluation of a highly-resolved regional emission inventory for NMHCs in the area of Jiangsu, a strong industrialized region in Eastern China. The reference period is almost 10 years. The quantification of chemical processes is based on the determination of realistic source profiles for industrial activities by near-source measurements. The aut...

An Asian emission inventory of anthropogenic emission sources for the period 1980–2020

We developed a new emission inventory for Asia (Regional Emission inventory in ASia (REAS) Version 1.1) for the period 1980–2020. REAS is the first inventory to integrate historical, present, and future emissions in Asia on the basis of a consistent methodology. We present here emissions in 2000, historical emissions for 1980–2003, 5 and projected emissions for 2010 and 2020 of SO 2 , NOx, CO, ...
